I saw something (don't remember where) that said attendance for this year's Macworld expo was going to be big - to the tune of 50,000 people. Well, I'm not sure how many people are here today, but I can tell you that IDG isn't doing such a good job managing the crowd. I was lined up about a block away from the door to Moscone West a little before 7 am, and I didn't make it inside until well after 9:30. By the time we got into the overflow room, I had missed a third of the keynote! I have never had to spend so much time waiting outside, and I've never been seated that late before for a keynote. I'm pretty unhappy about that - I'm going to have to go home tonight and watch the stream, for something that I paid good money to see (and spent over 2 and a half hours standing in line for).
